A camera for use in coincidence imaging includes detectors (10a, 10b) disposed about an examination region (12). Coincidence logic (14) determines whether gamma rays are detected by each of the detectors (10a, 10b) occur within a specified time interval. If so, the energy and positions of the detected events are determined. Energy discrimination circuitry (20a, 20b) associated with each detector (10a, 10b) determines if the detected events fall within a specified energy window. A list mode processor (22) generates a list of coincidence events. A rebinning processor (24) rebins the events, and a weight processor (26) weights each coincidence event based on the energy of the detected gamma rays.
